Panamanian footballer Edward Cedeño, 21, has caught the attention of FC Barcelona, which has been following him during the 2024-25 season. Cedeño plays as a defensive midfielder for CD Tarazona, a club in the Primera RFEF (third category of Spanish soccer), where he has established himself as an undisputed starter and one of the most consistent players in the league.
Since his arrival in Spain in 2023, Edward Cedeño has shown a great adaptation to European soccer and his style would fit well in Barça’s system. His performance particularly caught the attention of the Catalan club after his outstanding performance against Barça Atlètic a few weeks ago.
To be sold in June
CD Tarazona plans to execute the purchase clause for Edward Cedeño in June, which amounts to 350,000 euros.
He would then immediately transfer him to another club, possibly in the First Division.
According to sources in Spain and media outlets such as Marcador TV in Panama, FC Barcelona is one of the clubs that has shown the most interest.

The plan would be to incorporate him to Barça Atlètic, with the objective of evaluating his adaptation and possible projection to the first team.
Despite the interest of Second Division clubs during the winter market, Edward Cedeño will remain in Tarazona until the end of the season.
International profile
Buzzy
Edward Cedeño has been an international with Panama’s U-20 and U-23 teams, and is emerging as one of the most interesting projects of Central American soccer in Europe.
His tactical maturity, resilience and vision have been key to earning him a place in Tarazona’s starting eleven.
FC Barcelona insists that he has been followed like other promising young players, and that any decision on his signing will be taken at the end of the season.
This will also depend on the future of Barça Atlètic, which seeks to maintain the category in the First RFEF.
